Was I just stupid kid in the Midwest wrapped up in propaganda and a family history? How could I not fucking see what really was going on and what we do to the people of the countries we go to? Everything I wanted to be as a kid was based on fucking lies and the profits of the military industrial complex. What the fuck was the point of my deployments if not to oppress others? How can people fucking support these wars and invasions? In the name of protecting our freedoms while stripping away others? I fucking hate myself and wish I could take it away, but without it I wouldn’t be a communist and I wouldn’t have experience colonialism and imperialism first hand on the side of the oppressors. Fucking fuck.
You’re right. I just like the Crimson Flag better than burning others if that makes sense
That it does :sadness: building future is always more optimistic than destruction of the present
I’ve been trying to think of what a US hammer and sickle flag would look like lately. Something simple but still powerful
:cpusa: I think look pretty sweet tbh, sickle is not very relevant when peasants don’t exist. Steering wheels, cogs, buttons, keyboards are more likely to be associated with work :shrug-outta-hecks:
We have to remember where we came from. I like the idea of a star, hammer and sickle, with partly a cog and wheat around them.
Eh, it should associate with work for current workers, it’s always about the future, not the past. red flag is universal historical symbol of labor (well, ahem, usa), that’s the through line to history, symbols are for recognition of what you represent: workers tools show working class unity as it exists. :juche-WPK: adapted sickle for their peasants for example :GDR-emblem: as well
I love the GDR symbol. And you’re correct. It should be for the current times and future, I’m just a sucker for nostalgia. There’s plenty of room for creativity
